I have often thought about it on my 90. it would save the paint from all those nasty scratches you get off road. I know you should accept it in a 4wd but I am quite partial to the Orkney Grey on my new 90. Does anyone know how much the wrap is.

I'd be interested in a price for a roof wrap as well, mine's picked up a few scratches when the previous fitted a roof rack

Yeah the Silver kind of looks good with the black........

Thats where it ends though, stupidly large bling, bling alloy wheels and crappy radiator grill ruins it. Its a 4wd for Gods sake, not a Pimpmobile....


End of Rant......Happy Again

Thanks guys, will dwell on it.

4 yrs living with an SVX sounds like sound advice. Further, had already gone down the roof insulation thought bubble as protective maintenance Had done to previous Disco following headlining adhesive breakdown and replacement.

Note for users: From my friendly motor trimmer; Euro Headlining adhesives in Australia only good for about 10-12 yrs.

I just had a customer here who wrapped his new gtr skyline with matt black. Said it cost him $5000! Looks good I have to say. Orkney grey is my pick too, just need to sell the my BMW first

Defenders were designed to have a different colored roof, all the other stuff will look bad IMHO, it will over complicate it. And DON'T do the flares silver!!!

When did you think that Furphy up? ("All ravens are black*")

In Oz 1958 SII 109 Station wagons (the Defender body after all) were all grey (or all red etc). They stayed that way until suffix e with the six cylinder when they were all sandstone. 1958 SII 88 Station wagons were all bronze green. Although both the 88 and 109 wagons did have limestone coloured tropical roofs. .

SII and (most) SIIa utes the same colour roof as the body colour. Only the hard tops got limestone coloured roofs. The SIII was the first model to have a light coloured roof panel with body colour up to the gutter on almost all vehicles. But I guess the 110 would have been the first model you were intimately acquainted with.

That said, I do believe that a light silver/grey roof on a black 90 or 110 wagon would be a good look (IMHO).

* some members will get my drift!

If you google car wrap cost it is between 1200-2800 for partial and from 2500-6500 for full
